Privacy Policy

On the Site

The logs of the webserver we use keep track of things like the date and time of visits, the IP address and thus
the location of visitors, what pages were viewed and for how long, and what websites visitors came from and
continue on to. This is standard internet practice and is aggregated into numbers; I never see the details of any
individual visitor. I think this may use "cookies" --at least in part -- but if you object to cookies, you can turn
them off in your browser.

Email

My father, remembering what he had eaten during World War II, once wrote:

God
d*mn
Spam.

That is my feeling about unsolicited bulk email, and so my email policy is very simple. I don't keep track of
email or email addresses in any sort of database other than my own email archives which I take reasonable care of.
I do use gmail and a google-based email program which uses a gmail interface, so all my correspondance may be in
Google's records, I don't know for how long.

Of course, I never sell or rent email addresses, yuck.
